@iwantoldschool Scriabin died in 1915, And Horowitz was born in 1903, so that would be impossible. Well, despite the fact that reincarnating is impossible.
@iwantoldschool LOL....those two couldn't have more different personalities. Please read a little about Skryabin the composer, the dreamer, the visionary, who died so young and such a ridiculous death too. Horowitz was quite a realist, however.
Lady gaga has talent for commercial poop, the music here is called art and got nothing to do with her, so let's just not discuss her at all out of respect for Scriabin and Horowitz. The will thank you from heaven. ^_^
Fiorentino is different. Much pedal, but still a excellent performance. Horowitz: amazing performance. Clear melody throughout the piece. Great pianist. Like Scriabin etude op.8 nº12. Another amazing performance.
To think that such a chaotic mess of notes could sound this beautiful....
Scriabin nailed the meaning of anguish in this one.
I do not know the exact reason as to why Scriabin is not as famous as the other masters, nor why the other masters themselves are, comparatively speaking, ignored today-but even you were to ask them why, they wouldn't know the answer to that either.
@chainedliberty hmm, what do you mean by that? That people ignore the great composers in general in favour of crappy pop music, or that certain greats have not acquired the reputation they deserve relative to other composers?
people who are not musically-inclined can generally appreciate Bach's Air in G for example... not so much Liszt, Debussy, etc.
In the end, it is the simple melody, the closure of a perfect cadence, and whatnot whatnot, that makes the most harmonically traditional pieces just that much easier to appreciate by anyone.
"Rules" were there for a reason; the latter composers broke them, and hence lost their appeal to the general population.
hey, hey, hey. Disliking this music makes them not understand music at all? I wouldn't have liked this music a year ago, that doesn't make myself of years past musically ignorant. Shut up.
@orangefan9 Good point: I mean if you were to start thinking like that where would you draw the line between ignorance and enlightenment? We are, after all, all on a musical journey (crappy cliche included free of charge).

I listen and play many kind of music, but this is the one I like the most...piano...romantic with modernish Prokofieff-like spice alopng with some mysticism!
I can see where Scribain was heading, cos here he almost meanders, barely and rarely hinting at the key noted - but not with the certainty he begins to find by the 50s, and then realises by opus 65.
Please for the love of god stop bringing that kids name in every fucking god damn youtube music video I see. He's dead and everybody will eventually forget about him, he will never understand what it feels like to be truly legendary and be able to create music. If you really hate him stop fucking speaking his name then, you're just giving him more attention.
Scriabin is absolutely amazing! I especially love the etudes, this is definitely my favourite of the etudes but my favourite Scriabin is in the orchestral music where he can really release his use of colour. I love the third symphony in particular.
@jasonextreme I speak for everyone when I say: delete this comment. you are crossing the troll line and polluting real videos now. its disrespectful and annoying.
wow. firstly i thought "what a chaos" and now i am thinking: what a beautiful, strong, live mess!! i like this cuz it reminds me a very talented person who is always confused and inspired! :)
This is my favorite recording of one of my favorite piano pieces of all time. Just wonderful playing... Horowitz captures the spirit of this piece like no other. The Chopinesque writing of Scriabin's early years is there but veiled... when I hear this piece I hear a composer on the brink of insanity and Horowitz seems to feel the same way.
This really shows the greatness of Horowitz, an incredibly difficult piece played with the uttter lightness and musicality, seems to be done without effort....
This reaaly shows the greatness of Horowitz, an incredibly difficult piece played with the uttter lightness and musicality, seems to be done without effort....
They're "darkness" is different. Scriabin is more the caothic kind, Rachmaninov is always clear and powerfull. Who is better? Dumb question. Nobody can force us to chose, beside not listening to one of them would be a shame.
"I'd fair say Rachmaninoff has had much darker moments and wrote darker pieces than Scriabin." Really? Then I suggest you check out Scriabin - Vers La Flamme played by maestro Horowitz.
I am afraid to play this piece, but I really want to learn it at the same time! Horowitz has so much control that it makes the idea of taking on this work incredibly daunting.
one is God but does not realize it,but the spirit in us equals God,in that sense there is a pantheist idea..God iss in everything so also in the universe..
I'll take Rubenstein for Chopin, Richter for Rach, but Horriwitz's Scriabin is unparalleled. This piece is a wonderful combination of technical proficiency with fiery intensity. A real emotionally gripping piece, which is unusual for an Etude. It's almost a shame as learning this piece, I could never hope to achieve the level of beauty horrowitz creates without directly mimicking his interpretation.
@Starwalker6978 I am sick of people who post insulting comments about people who dislike the piece in question. However, if by telling everyone about how much you dislike the people who disliked the piece you feel you are 'part of the club', or that it disginguises you from the 'plebs'... then keep it up. The people who really care about the music are too busy trying to play it ;-)
@0601989m If you're trying to get a discussion out of me, you are at the wrong address! "Who dislikes this, doesn't understand a bit from music and piano playing!" is a statement and only an insult to those who have no clue what they are dealing with: Horowitz and Scriabin, the meeting of two geniuses!
@0601989m correction: the people who care about the music are too busy trying to learn it, then notice that they lack the 7 hands necessary to play it.
Learning this piece right now. Can't wait till I'm finished this piece is amazing, deep, passionate all the above lol. Might be my favorite or at least one of my favorite piano pieces.
You know, I've heard this piece dozens of times. But following the sheet music just adds a whole new level of emotional depth to this piece. The notes are like seeds of musical etherealness and splendor, yet so unassuming as they appear on the page. Words fail me.
@openmindspace Indeed, both the piece and the playing. Horowitz didn't play everything well, but he was phenomenal in Scriabin and this is just one incredible example. It was wonderful to see him playing Scriabin's piano when he went back to Russia that one last time in 1986.
can anyone tell me what is the name of the piece that was written for strings, I'm pretty sure it was scriabin, starts of with church bells and strings and finishes with an incredibly long cord/drone? much appriciated..
I LOVE the contrast with this song. Lovely played! it sounds very clean and it has wonderful color. I think true talent lies in the person who can play with real raw emotion. THIS IS TALENT!
@Nutterbutterz95 start with "Rachmaninov - Preludes & Moments Musicaux by Lugansky" available on Amazon and elsewhere for download. Listen to that first piece (Morceaux de fantaisie Op.3 : II Prelude) and then decide if you like Rachmaninov
Of course I agree with you, but I'm afraid that even the notion on debating Rachmaninoff's darkness compared to Scriabin is ridiculous. This heinous act must be stopped!
@crazyasskid69 Haha okay let's stop it right here ;) Well my diabolic master, unreached, stays Liszt with his Totentanz and Mephisto Waltz.... i could listen to / play those pieces the whole day. Bad thing i got a social life.. :)
@KheldarPr No, actually Scriabin was a nut that wrote Chopinesque piano music with a Russian accent, yet made great by Horowitz's genius- God made them both-hahahahaha
Wow.. I love his interpretation. Is there anyway I can download Horowitz's performance in mp3? I cant find it anywhere in music stores or online! someone please help me.

I'd fair say Rachmaninoff has had much darker moments and wrote darker pieces than Scriabin.

@crazyasskid69 Such as? I haven't listened to much Rachmaninoff, and I've been meaning to get into him, but I'm not sure where to start.

@Nutterbutterz95 Prelude op 32 no 10, etude op 39 n 5 and 9 than all the piano concertos. And anyway almos everything he composed is beautiful.

@Nutterbutterz95 start with "Rachmaninov - Preludes & Moments Musicaux by Lugansky" available on Amazon and elsewhere for download. Listen to that first piece (Morceaux de fantaisie Op.3 : II Prelude) and then decide if you like Rachmaninov

@crazyasskid69 well let's agree on that they all are great composers and can't be compared. i think thats the best solution ;)

Of course I agree with you, but I'm afraid that even the notion on debating Rachmaninoff's darkness compared to Scriabin is ridiculous. This heinous act must be stopped!

@crazyasskid69 Haha okay let's stop it right here ;) Well my diabolic master, unreached, stays Liszt with his Totentanz and Mephisto Waltz.... i could listen to / play those pieces the whole day. Bad thing i got a social life.. :)

@crazyasskid69 Really? Then I suggest you check out Scriabin - Vers La Flamme played by maestro Horowitz (and more)...

Obvious comment comming from someone who has not listened to the masterpiece of Prelude in C# Minor.

@crazyasskid69 you're right, that is a super obscure piece that is rarely ever performed. so he probably hasn't heard it

@KheldarPr No, actually Scriabin was a nut that wrote Chopinesque piano music with a Russian accent, yet made great by Horowitz's genius- God made them both-hahahahaha
